Actual Balanced Life

Many a time it has been seen that the doctor after a complete medical check-up of the patient is not able to find out any reason for his improper health. But the patient experiences pain and illness, suffers, loses weight gradually and becomes unfit to carry out ordinary work. Each work should be performed with full understanding, responsibility, eagerness and sincerity. Laziness and malingering should not be allowed to enter there, and the stigma of avoiding it and slackness should be prevented. With all this, it cannot be said with definiteness that what has been desired, will happen. One should be ready for partial success or even failure so that the mind remains composed. One must think that the world is not created for us only, there is a partnership of innumerable people in this world, and what we consider beneficial for us may also cause loss to others. For maintaining a balance in nature's creation, all have to be considered. If someone wins in a game, the other has to lose. This fact applies in the sequence of events also.
One must constantly cultivate the practice of balanced, peaceful, steady and hopeful attitude. All know the importance of having a strong and beautiful body and also desire and work for it. The supremacy of mental strength and cheerful appearance should be considered even more important. No work remains impossible if one has the confidence. Even in desperate situations and totally without any means, with the help of personal confidence, they gave a thought to the road to progress, sought it out and reached the pinnacles of success. There is only one condition, that is, one should not be disappointed and sit in a corner.
A smile on the face is God's visible blessing to man. One who smiles and makes others smile is full of magnetism, spreading fragrance around him like a lotus. This is one's own creation. If it is made a part of one's nature and firmly practiced, then one's personality becomes uncommonly beautiful. Neither can old age snatch it nor is it affected amidst difficulties. The body remains strong during young age only. Both childhood and old age are governed by incapacity. Illness and harassment fragments it. But mental strength garnered on the basis of self-confidence always gives company and like a life-giving vital force, is always ready to grapple with all difficulties.
A weak person is forced to lead a life of suppression because of lack of courage and lack of spirit of adventure. Nobody is ready to become a companion of a weak person, to the extent that even God forgets a man cursed with weakness. In this world lack of strength is a very big sin causing unhappiness, whether this lack is physical, mental, and intellectual or any other type.
Health and strength only are the pillars of happiness and peace. Lack of these two causes, God knows how much bitterness and restrictions in life. Life's proper development is possible only when body is strong and well nourished, the heart is generous, mind cheerful and intelligence without corruption. With distorted health and life, no project can be achieved.
Only the mind is the center of experiencing happiness and unhappiness. If the mind is clouded and unhappy, then even with a healthy body, a man is similar to a dead body - without emotions, interest and activity. The person will not feel happy in any work nor feel like talking to any one. When the mind is unhealthy and unhappy, even the occasions of happiness appear painful. With mental unhappiness, hunger and sleep are also reduced. Hence mental health is very much essential for happiness and cheer. In their absence, nothing remains for the man except to suffer form unhappiness. Mental health is nothing but freedom from lust, anger, jealousy, malice, disappointment, dejection, restlessness and dissatisfaction. If the mind is healthy, it is essential to experience happiness peace, cheer and contentment.
Sometimes troubles come and destroy man's cheer. Many people give up their patience when faced with such troubles. Never do this. Troubles come on everyone and after coming, go away also. Let us face them cheerfully. Let us welcome them smilingly and beat them and drive them away. We must constantly rely on our self-confidence and do not allow it to slacken or weaken. Forget the painful experiences of your past; never allow them a place in your mind, because they are obstacles in the path to your happiness. You should always think about happiness, mentally move in an atmosphere of happiness and go on thinking about happy people.
To large extent, nay, almost all disease does not have their roots in the body. Many people die before time because of distress, affections, sudden troubles or sudden calamities, but many mental afflictions gradually and slowly produce their effect and make the man ill. Because of long term grief circulation of blood slows down, the face looks pale, the skin dry and eyes look dirty.
It is a common rule of the body that the wish for joy, entertainment, hope, love and happiness makes the body strong and gives it plenty of health. There is also the truth that fear, sadness, jealousy, hatred, disappointment, distrust and other mental distortions also causes illness in the processes within the body.
The mind is the overall controller of man's life. Life's destiny will be in accordance with the mind of the man. Mind should be considered the mould of man's life and man's life should be considered the reflection of the mind. The extent to which this mould is beautiful, neat and perfect to that extent man's life also would be cast in that mould and be beautiful, neat and perfect.
Happiness and peace are not available in any external means and gadgets. Happiness and peace reside within man's tendencies. One, whose tendency of heart is cheerful, contented and joyous; he will have joy and cheer on every occasion. One whose mind is sad, lazy and dissatisfied, he will be engulfed by jealousy, suffocation, dissatisfaction and restriction.
One who has purified his mind and controlled it, he does not require any assistant in the whole world. An obedient mind is man's greatest and real assistant. Purification of the mind is in itself a very big penance.
The mind should always be employed in creative works. The troubles discussed above can be avoided on this basis and Proper Avenue for progress is also found. To destroy undesirable traits, creative far-sighted solutions should be adopted. The solution does not lie in girding the loins and becoming ready to fight.
Generally man is not able to see his own mistakes. He is easily able to find out others' faults, but always ignores his own deficiencies. Introspection and contemplation have to be practiced to find out where we are at fault. If a man starts practicing the skill of finding fault and criticizing his own self, then all the roads to salvation, which are blocked, can be opened. One, who tries to understand own mistakes and corrects them, will not be surrounded by bad situations. People want favorable circumstances and benefit from them, but do not make efforts to become worthy for them
